After a flurry of inquiries I’ve decided for the first time since I graduated with a Masters in Illustration that I would once again undertake portrait work. Balancing all the different strands of my work can sometimes cause confusion so I’ve limited the portraits I undertake to one a month.
For a while I’ve been undecided whether to indulge myself in this form of art but I’ve come to the conclusion that what can be more meaningful than doing a piece to be treasured in a home. Editorial work can be rewarding to me personally but it will only be valued for a short time where as capturing something personal can be valued for a lifetime.
